how do we take responsibility for actions? and i think that's really what the hope is for an intervention that's effective is that it doesn't only change the life of the person being targeted, but hopefully changes the life of the person perpetrating behaviors. >> host: i was interested that there are a number of steps laid out in terms of the apology phase. i think one of the significant points that we've made is that this is about shame for either the bully or the bullied, but it's really more about problem-solving and understanding. a big component here seems to be, respect all around the schools. how do you make that happen? >> guest: a big part of it is honestly assessing what's going on in our communities. i think again one of the things we notice in schools is that where there's a lot of hierarchy and stratification among the adult, you're likely to find similar among the kids. i think when it comes to respecting all members of our communities, that really happens in a lot of places. it doesn't only happen in schools. i
